A take on the famous 1915 proverb coined by Elbert Hubbard. When life gives you lemons …paint them.
"Life handed him a lemon,
As Life sometimes will do.
His friends looked on in pity,
Assuming he was through.
They came upon him later,
Reclining in the shade
In calm contentment, drinking
A glass of lemonade."
Clarence Edwin Flynn 1940
